Do some research beforehand and you'll look like a total genius. First, brush up on Pine Box's list of vegan beer and empanadas, then impress your date with your lust for not only them...but also for saving animals. Study up on these bands (Maginot, The Planes, The Dregs, Dialogue from a Silent Film, & Dahl Haus) and show off your knowledge of only the indiest at the free rock'n'roll in the back room. Then slip in the fact that Pine Box Rock Shop used to be a coffin-making factory. SCORE. Knowledge is sexy.

If your significant other never takes off his/her faux-prescription glasses and sometimes insists on wearing a sweater to bed ("but it's so COLD!), we understand the romance might be on the back burner. But we assume you guys really love each other, and other things, like Pocky and Game of Thrones, so we'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say this show might be the best bet. Find tenderness in this concert, guided by romantic and soft music, dim lighting, a balcony for a smoke-- and you don't even have to leave the 'hood. We hope this lights some fire.

If something went horrifically wrong during your date (she wasn't into bathroom sex / he had an allergic reaction / etc) and you end up alone any time between 10 and 3:45, you might as well truck it over to Bossa Nova, where the music will be heavy and the grinding dirty. Maybe you'll score a second chance to woo someone with your terribly white dance moves.
